MICHAEL GROVER

Turbulence

Rain and wind mix.
Grass on beach bending.
Normally blue ocean water
Becomes pale green.
Ocean rising,
Sandpipers run.
Foam from waves
Reach across the shore.

Sound of ocean pounding shore.
Sound of wind whistling in my ears.

I am calm in the turbulence.
Far off storms
Effecting the coast.
That runt of a kid
Not buried that far.
Native floridian,
Sitting on the Boynton Inlet
Watching the storms come in.
Calm in the turbulence
Watching the chaotic ocean.
That runt now coming
To the surface.
Sitting on the shore
Calm in the turbulence.
